After intense pressure from Democrats, Republicans agreed to extend the credit to more than six million minimum wage families.
The senate approved the measure by a vote of 94 to two.
When the tax cuts were passed last week, some people were upset that millions of low income families did not get ANY child tax credit, while higher income families got up to one thousand dollars back.
Now the House must approve the legislation by late this month in order for the new families to get checks along with everyone else.
